I Don't Vote With My Girl Parts or Maybe I Do?

This girl pretty much said it. And what a good point she made: the idea is not to vote with race or gender, but to vote with ones head instead. Sounds smart and good to me. What also sounds good to me is that in the case of a victory of the Democratic party, there will not be another old white man in the White House. Now that is the type of smart, educated girl I am.

Is that so wrong?

America is a slow moving large machine that some have finagled to churn out extreme amounts of shitty decisions and heart wrenchng foreign policies leaving aside economic ones, in an amazingly short time span. But overall we're talking about a thing with the turning radius of an old caddie. If we can't reverse the damange of the past years with one swift Yehaa it nevertheless makes me feel better to gaze at a face of America on the front pages of Reader's Digest and USA Today over the next year and the years after (as we struggle to make that 3 point turn in a dark dark alley), that looks different. I am that superficial. Maybe it's the lack of old white men in my party that seem trustworthy or the presence of old white men in the other party that don't seem so great, but let me just say, for 2008 I don't care who becomes president as long as "it" is no old white man.
